Review: Crystal clear, incredible value. - I had a pair of Steiners that I thought were the best, but these are even better. Great quality, feel good in your hands and absolutely crystal clear, even in low light. Bought to be used on Safari in Botswana - helped us to spot some amazing animals. Everyone in our group was fighting over them and two of my friends have already ordered their own pairs. Great product, and the lifetime warranty means these are just ridiculous value. Couldn't recommend more.
Review: Amazing Budget Friendly Binoculars! - Last year I had purchased a pair of Redfield Rebel 10x50 for about $135 all said and done, and for the price, I will say those are an excellent set of Bino's, and I always got compliments. This year however, I really wanted something a little lighter weight, as I spend a lot of time on my feet, so any weight I could shed on my neck/back was most welcome. I had a hard time choosing between the Leupold BX-2 Acadias and these. And owning Leupold Scopes, and range finders I was originally leaning that direction, but sadly(or not?), Hunting season was here! and desertcart was not offering Prime on the 10x42's in the BX-2, so I decided to bite the Bullet on these new 2016 Model Diamondbacks. So far I absolutely love them! They are light, but not a "cheap" feeling light. They are extremely comfortable in hand, and very sharp glass quality, surpassing my Redfields(note they are a Leupold Company now) by a small margin! One thing that really stood out in comparison to my old pair is the lighting quality, very clear and bright! especially in lower light conditions! I was beyond impressed. The carrying case it comes with is awesome, and a nice change over many other "pouch style" carrying cases form other manufacturers. Overall I am super satisfied with this set of Binoculars especially given the price tag! I really would have liked to compare the BX-2 & Diamond back side by side, however our local Cabelas was out of stock in both in the 10x42 size, so it is what it is! But I can say I strongly do recommend these! This past weekend I was out with my 2 Brother in laws & my father in law, and they were shocked how bright and clear the image was. Says enough for me! UPDATE 11/3/2016 Went in to Cabelas today now that they have both the Vortex Diamondbacks & Leupold BX2's in stock in the 10x42. Comparing side by side, glass quality was neck and neck, but I would almost favor the Diamondbacks in sheer "crisp image" factor. But honestly to close to really call, especially in store. One thing for sure I can tell you is that the 10x42 Leupold BX-2's were a substantial amount heavier, which to me is a con, also far bulkier feeling in general. The feel if the Diamondbacks in hand is far more comfortable than that of the BX-2's. All while the Diamondbacks are $30-$40 cheaper depending on current market value. Vortex get's my call on this one! Update: 5/26/2019 Recently picked up a pair of Leupold BX-4 Pro Guide HD's for a price to good to pass up. While edge to edge clarity, and low light conditions are noticeably better, the Diamondbacks are still a crazy good pair of binocular's, especially given the price tag. I was also able to use a pair of Vortex Viper HD's this past 2018 Elk season, they also were a noticeable improvement over the Diamondbacks. Overall this will likely be the last time I update this review. The Diamondback's are probably the best bang for your dollar binocular on the market plain and simple, and really aren't THAT far behind the curve compared to the $600-1000 set's. If you can't successfully spot animals in the field with the Vortex Diamondbacks, you're doing it wrong.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What comes with these binoculars does it come with a case and binocular case**
A: Yes, both ends of the binoculars have protective covers and the binoculars have a strap. Binoculars come with a hard case which also has a strap.

**Q: 408 by 42 or 10 by 42 which one are better**
A: From my observation they are about equal optically. Which is better depends on the user. The 10x optics are on the edge of what I can hold steady. So I picked the 8x which I can hold steady even when I'm a bit tired. The 8x are a little brighter which helps a little during dawn or dusk. The extra power will sometimes help identify objects at distance. The very best thing you can do is try them side by side and make decision about your personal decision. When I was picking I also did side by side comparisons with optics that were considered a step up and a step down. You may decide that the lower price are a better value for you or that a step up is worth the extra money.

**Q: Are these as good as quality as the Viper HD?**
A: No they aren't... great pair of binoculars but if you pick up both pair and look out to even 100 yards you can tell the difference! However unless you wanna put down double the money these are great!

**Q: What is the difference between this model (referred to as d205) and the db205 offered on amazon and other sites for around the same price?**
A: I actually am not sure. I can tell you however I bought this set and don't regret it one bit! These binos are super crisp and bright and the harness is not bad at all.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality and clarity !!
*by A***R on 24 January 2019*

Wow, after trying many different binoculars and returning them with great disappointment I went to the local outdoor sportsman store. The first thing the guy behind counter reached for, after I explained that I was wanting a good quality smaller size binoculars was the Vortex Diamondbacks. The quality and clarity was fantastic. I have a bigger set from another manufacturer and these were better. The warranty is amazing. The local sportsman store would not match the Amazon price, I saved $70 Cdn on using Amazon. This is something I would and will recommend to anyone.
